Question

WILL MEDAL AND FAN HELP ASAP
A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half-slave and half-free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved—I do not expect the house to fall—but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other.

• What is an historical idea or event that supports Lincoln’s point of view?

Answer 2

There is one more, if that's okay. Thank you sooo much for helping me.

I believe that the Union can only be preserved by maintaining inviolate the Constitution of the United States as our fathers have made it. That Constitution guarantees to the people of every State the right to have slavery or not have it…each State being left free to decide for itself. The framers of that Constitution…well understood that each one of the thirteen States had distinct and separate interests, and required distinct and separate local laws and local institutions.

• What is an historical idea or event that supports Douglas’s point of view?

Answer 3

Slavery, Lincoln is referring to how the country was divided in some states being slave states and some states being free, Lincoln wanted the whole country to come together and be free so we wouldnt have to have a divided house of congress where no one comes to agree, Lincoln wants the house to get along and make choices together as one nation.

Answer 4

Again Slavery, Douglas is defending the right to have slavery because when the constitution was drafted laws allowed each state to have the right to choose weather to be a salve state or a free state.
